Live By Faith Not By Sight in 2012


Wow what a year this has been for us! As we look to 2012 with hope of new opportunities, we are excited to see how God will show His Glory once again in our lives. We have been through peaks and valleys and God has been so faithful. We began our year in Atlanta with Extreme Response and really believed this was where God planned for us to be for the next 5 to 10 years. We bought a house and saw God at work and expected to build relationships and find an awesome church to attend. It was shortly after we got settled that we realized that the financial support it was going to take to live in the states was not going to be easy to attain, but we did receive what was needed. We lost two big supporters but believed that it was not about them, that God could use anyone to fill that gap, and that He did. This process started in March when a friend from Iowa sent just what we needed for the month of April. From then on, until the end of December we received notes that individuals had sent us just the amount that was needed for the month… never the same person never the same amount but always just what we needed! We are so grateful to each one of you who listened to the Lord and followed His lead. We were reminded through the circumstances with our car that He will remain faithful! That was a miracle in itself. He sold our house in September within 48hrs. of putting it on the market, even in a down market, without losing any money and provided us a place to live in the Chattanooga area. We have been blessed to be close to Mike’s children and grandchildren and able to spend time really getting to know them as adults. This has been a wonderful Christmas season with our families and we are looking forward to a joyful New Year. We are still looking for a church where we can get connected and serve. We are also excited to see how the Lord provides on the career front. Mike starts a new sales job next week, working mostly in North Alabama, so he will be away several nights each week. This will be a big adjustment for us. Pam is still waiting for her opportunity!! Please continue to pray for us to seek and follow the Lord’s perfect will for our lives.
We want to wish you all a Happy and Prosperous New Year! May God bless you use you in 2012.
